Finally, it’s official. The 2015 U.S. Senior Open Championship is coming to the Del Paso Country Club.

Leaders with the U.S. Golf Association, the country club and local government confirmed on Monday what the Business Journal had already reported — that Sacramento has been tagged to host the major golf tournament, which has never been held in Northern California.

“We are extremely excited to be hosting one of the most prestigious events in all of golf,” Dan Spector, a Del Paso member who will serve as chairman of the 2015 U.S. Senior Open, said in the news release. “We think the entire Sacramento community will embrace one of the biggest and most important sporting events to ever come to our town.”

During the U.S. Senior Open, more than 15 hours of live TV coverage will air on network and cable television. The tournament will be seen in 50 countries, according to the announcement.
